Yesterday, I got my hair washed, treated and cut by Jeziel. To be honest, this was my first time ever getting my hair cut at a salon. I got my hair styled once for prom and the hairdresser made me feel so bad about my hair, I felt embarrassed seeing another one for 12 years. Right away, Jeziel spoke To me about what I think about my hair and what inspired me to come in. We spoke about the products that I use, and she educated me on why they could be causing The excessive dryness I was experiencing. I basically told her that I had given up on my hair and I would just slick it back with gel, but I hated the way my face looks when I did that. She was so knowledgeable And I felt extremely comfortable. She was very direct with her instruction and took extra care asking me if the water temperature is fine, if i was comfortable, she let me know she would be putting a cape on me, etc. It was these little things that I considered extremely considerate And I couldn’t help but think how much people need that kind of care when they get a service done. Before she started cutting, she explains her vision and how long she thinks it should be. At this point, I trusted her so much. I was like “go for it.” With every cut, I could see it framing my face so beautifully. I really started to smile at myself in the mirror. I was watching the other students in the background styling their equally happy clients or working on a mannequin and doing such an amazing job. I asked Jeziel about her education here and she told me how much they get to learn and practice and I need everyone to know that there are some really talented women in this salon. Do not be intimidated by the fact that they are learning. Jeziel’s educator, Miss Leeandra would come by and double check her work And I could see the pride she felt because of Jeziel’s amazing work and she was so encouraging and knowledgeable as well. Another educator came at the end and taught me how to tame my fly aways. This is the shortest My hair has ever been, but I genuinely feel BEAUTIFUL and I can’t stop touching my hair or watching it finally MOVE!! Not once did they shame me about the broken choppy pieces — just the opposite, they had confidence and reassurance that they can blend it and they even said “its just hair, theres nothing to be ashamed about”. This has to be my favorite hairstyle I have EVER rocked. Thank you Jeziel, I feel beautiful again and I am still smiling about my hair. You will go so far with your talent and your heart!

I got a curly cut and a wash and go by Q, and I’m so happy with the results! Q and the instructor guiding her were both so kind, patient, and professional. They really took the time to understand my hair and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. I felt confident asking any questions I had, and they explained everything so clearly. The atmosphere was welcoming, and I truly appreciated the care they put into my hair. To anyone who wants to support students while also getting their hair done at an affordable price, I definitely recommend coming here especially getting serviced by Q or Brie or honestly anyone they’re all so talented. I’ll be back for sure!
